Senator Goldwater: Wright-Patterson 'Blue Room' Too Classified to Access

Senator Barry Goldwater writes to a constituent on October 19, 1981 about recovered UFO bodies and technology at Wright-Patterson AFB: 'I have long ago given up acquiring access to the so-called blue room at Wright-Patterson... this thing has gotten so highly classified, even though I will admit there is a lot of it that has been released, it is just impossible to get anything on it.' Goldwater, a five-term Senator, former Republican presidential nominee, Air Force reservist Major General, and close friend of Gen. Curtis LeMay, had written similar letters in 1975 and 1979.

Background

1. In a 1981 letter, Senator Barry Goldwater reiterated his inability to access a highly classified area at Wright-Patterson Air Force Base, purportedly containing UFO information. This letter highlights the persistent rumors of recovered UFO materials and the high level of secrecy surrounding them.

The Incident Senator Barry Goldwater wrote to a constituent on October 19, 1981, regarding his past attempts to access information about UFOs stored at Wright-Patterson Air Force Base. Goldwater stated he had "long ago given up acquiring access to the so-called blue room" at the base. He indicated that the information was classified so highly that even he, a former presidential candidate and well-connected senator, was denied access.

Investigation The source text does not describe any formal investigation into Goldwater's claims. However, it does mention that Goldwater attempted to access the information approximately ten or twelve years prior to 1975. He was blocked by his friend, USAF Chief of Staff General Curtis LeMay.

Significance Goldwater's statement is significant because it comes from a credible and well-respected political figure. His inability to access the alleged "blue room" suggests a level of secrecy surrounding UFO information that extends beyond standard security protocols. The fact that the information was described as "above Top Secret" raises questions about the nature of the data and who has access to it. This event contributes to the ongoing debate about government transparency and the potential existence of concealed UFO-related programs.
